wall hangers for my sister

[lawrence]

Well, my baby sister asked if I could make her some wall hangers-(I did a "howto" on my first one in the techniques section a week ago or so) as they are to be painted I made them from 3/4 MDF-- she will prime them and paint them (I primed one to show her how nicely MDF primes up once you put drywall mud on the edges) The words, though they seem meaningless to me, are evidently twitter and email names for her and workmates/friends.

The letters are "merged" so that the words are connected so they can be more easily hung (some with a line on the bottom, some with the letters "bumped" together)

Just for grins-- here's what I made while my last sign was carving this morning.... I sure love mesquite. This screwdriver is for a neighbor who gave me some mesquite logs earlier this year--this was a small piece from the resulting wood
